For the past three years I had been studying the word of God diligently putting time and effort into everything I did to learn more about my God. It all started in the sixth grade when I began my first class of confirmation , we were referred to as “ first years”. In our first year we had hilarious instructors who made the experience a blast. That year we mainly learned the word of God in a fun way through games, songs ,and extremely thorough discussions. However, On the downside of all the fun activities we had a midterm and a final exam . The event we were all looking forward to though was the retreat (a camp in the woods where we grow closer to God and our brothers and sisters of Christ).
My walk with Christ is a little unusual, but he makes everyone’s story different. The night of July 17th was a weird night for me. I said my prayers and asked God to watch over my dad’s football team and keep everyone safe, but I kept hearing this voice in my head that said , “Do not go tomorrow.” I thought to myself yeah right I’m going, and I heard the voice
I arrived on a Wednesday and observed a women’s basketball game hosted in the gymnasium. As I witnessed the game, I thought to myself, “surely God wants me somewhere else,” unfortunately the women’s team was not the best of the colleges that I had visited, but I continued with my experience. After the game Coach Sanders came and sat down with me and asked if I had any thoughts over the game, compassionately I gave him some constructive criticism and he gladly listened while agreeing with most of the ideas that I had. We concluded the conversation then my family and I headed toward Helen, Coach Sanders benevolently bought us a hotel room for the night because he wanted me to be the first recruit ever to have the opportunity to experience the Chapel service that next Thursday
Three years ago I went to the Cumberland mountains of Tennessee. June came more quickly than I had planned. Before I knew it, it was time to go on my mission trip. Twelve hours of driving seemed like it took forever. During that twelve hour drive, I thought a lot about what I had imagined the week would be like. I knew it would take hard work and an open mind. Those twelve hours finally came to an end, we were in the mountains of Tennessee. I had mixed emotions that was going through as we settled into our cabins and looked around the camp site. It was definitely overwhelming when more church groups arrived, but I had to keep in mind that I needed to have an open mind about the week. Monday morning came in a flash. We fueled up with breakfast before we

Ever since I was a young boy, my family would pile into our old 15-passenger van and drive to church each and every Sunday, without fail. I didn't really understand it at first, it was just something I had to do. When I was around 6 years old, my mother encouraged me to accept Jesus Christ as my lord and savior. I hardly understood what it meant, but I went through with it, much to my mother’s excitement. Years passed, and my understanding grew. Up until I was around 13 years old, my faith had no correlation to my actions. I could recite bible verses for hours, yet I couldn't say what any of them meant. That all changed one year at Camp Selah, a Then, in the year 2014, my faith took a turn for the worst. I’d had a testing first year of high
I looked back onto the house as if it were a museum, an artifact- perfectly tact cleaned as I remembered back when I was four years old finding a yellow hot wheel sport car on a window seal remembering the hallways much grander and much larger than they were now.

The drive from Chicago to Arlington Heights was almost an hour long. The whole time in the car I couldn’t keep my mind off the Chicago Blackhawks hockey game. How many times would the opportunity arise that I would be in Chicago and the Blackhawks playing in the Stanley Cup semi-finals? There had to be a way we could find tickets for less than what my dad said they cost. An idea hit me out of no where, I knew my uncle Larry was going to attend the Baptism, after all he is a season ticket holder. I couldn’t be selfish and just run up to him and ask if he had any extra tickets. My entire family was going to be at the church and I wanted to be sure and enjoy the little time with them since I no longer live in Chicago. Plus, the day wasn’t about me or the game, it was all about my cousin Evie accepting Jesus. As my family and I walked into the Church we all immediately went to Evie and congratulated her on the big decision. After greeting with more relatives I found my seat and waited patiently for the Baptism to begin. Out of no where I felt a presence behind me.
Apprehensively I journeyed through “God’s time”, and couldn’t have been more grateful of the outcome. Before the retreat even began I was excited: excited to learn about others and myself, but more importantly to learn more about God. My relationship with God wasn’t necessarily horrible. I consider my past self to be similar to someone who believed in God, but was confused in what she specifically believed. I was unsure of how God could love people who only brought destruction and hate into a world that he created out of love. Kairos helped me come to the conclusion that God loves everyone and will continue to love His people forever. If I were to ever turn away from God, I now know He will always be waiting for me to return to Him.
On August 7, I returned to a church summer camp, I hadn’t attended since the 7th grade. In totality, I had attended the camp that is held annually only 3 times. Down in Grapeland, Texas, Frontier Camp is notorious for leaving an actual mark on the kids, make that plural--leaving
In the 21st century we as citizens have seen the way technology has evolved and is incorporated into our everyday lives, massive impacts such as communication, factories or _______ too much smaller tasks like turning on a light. It’s a surprise that such small things can contribute to one major
Fadi, his wife Justine and Marsha and I are in a small group made up of Uganda participants and their friends. We have been meeting for a year and a half. Some are Christians and some are not. Fadi was the driving force behind the group. This semester, for the first time, we are studying a book of the bible. To counterbalance the scary?! leap into talking about God and religion, Fadi and his friend Desmond decided to brew cider and we named the group InCider Mark. In the process of preparing for the group, Fadi had an encounter with God, "I was on my knees for an hour last weekend bottling cider. And then I started to think about why I’m
Howdy friends, I just came back from a fantastic retreat with my young adult friends from Times Square Church. To say this retreat was great will be an understatement! It's amazing how God can alter one's plan for His purpose. My intention was just to go there and take a break from a hectic week from school and troubles of NYC. Didn't know that God had other plans for me. While on the bus to the venue of the retreat, I had a quiet moment with the Lord. My desire later changed from actually wanting to just have fun, to wanting a divine connection with the Lord. This retreat wouldn't be the first I would be attending, but I wanted this to be different from the other ones.
